Before he left, Lucian went to the children's room to check on them.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw them chatting while holding a laptop in their arms.
At the sight of him, the boys closed the laptop and gave him a self-conscious look. “Mr. Farwell, what brings you here? Is Mommy all right?”
Lucian was still wearing the shirt Roxanne had puked on as he had no change of clothes, but his jacket managed to hide the dirty shirt from view.
Looking at their anxious expressions, Lucian asked with a frown, “It's getting late. Why aren't you asleep?”
The boys exchanged glances. “We'll go to sleep right away.”
There was no way they would tell him that their concern over whether their parents would argue was what keeping them awake.
Regarding them inquisitively, Lucian said in a deep voice, “Your mommy is already asleep. I'll be heading home now. You boys should go to bed soon.”
After that, he reminded them, “Don't tell your mommy about what happened tonight.”
Despite agreeing to Lucian's request, the boys were filled with disappointment.
They had initially hoped that Lucian would take care of their mother for the entire night, and when Roxanne saw him when she woke up, she would definitely be touched.
Unfortunately, their father was about to leave, and he even forbade them from telling their mother about it.
At the rate they're going, when will Daddy and Mommy ever reconcile?
Only after making sure the children were asleep did Lucian leave.
By the time he returned to the Farwell residence, Estella was already in dreamland.
